A German dentist has come under fire for rejecting service to a 16-year-old Turkish boy on the basis of the child’s name: Cihad。

　　According to a report Sunday by the Bild newspaper, Cihad went to see a dentist in Donaueschingen, in the Southern State of Baden-Wuerttemberg in Germany. His name caught the attention of a female dentist, who asked him where his name comes from。

　　The dentist was offended at the name "Cihad," which she understood as a declared war on all non-Muslims. She refused service to the boy, citing what she considered an inclination for violence。

　　The teenager’s parents were shocked at the dentist’s decision. They told the media that they named their son for no religious reason. As it was reported, the ethnic Turkish young man was born in Germany, and his name had not brought any problems。

　　The registration management organization of Donaueschingen said the name Cihad is common in Turkey。

　　The municipal government also didn’t understand the dentist’s reaction。

　　The Dentist Association of the State of Baden-Wuerttemberg can’t give an explanation for such an issue。

　　The association said cleaning teeth has nothing to do with patient’s name or religion, and warned that the dentist may be fined。

　　The dentist has expressed her regrets under great pressure from the public。

　　一名16岁的德国籍土耳其裔少年，因为有个“敏感的名字”而遭到德国牙医的就医歧视。他的名字叫“圣战”。

　　据德国《图片报》7日报道，德国南部巴符州的多瑙艾辛根市16岁的土耳其裔少年“圣战”日前去就医时，其名字含义引起女牙医注意。这名牙医还特地询问他，是否知道名字的含义。并且说，“圣战”是向所有非穆斯林信徒宣战，她不愿意给具有暴力倾向的人动手术。 最后，女牙医拒绝为他动手术。

　　对此，少年的父母很吃惊，他们表示，给孩子取这个名字，并无任何宗教背景。据悉，这名土裔少年系德国出生，此前名字从未遇到问题。多瑙艾辛根市政府的登记管理机构表示，这个名字在土耳其很普遍，市政府也无法解释牙医的行为。巴符州牙医协会也对该牙医的举动表示不解，认为治病和病人的名字及宗教信仰无关，并可能对该医生进行警告和罚款。迫于舆论压力，这名女牙医已表示后悔。
